Thread: sitemap advice please

Hi,

I just got my site map on my sites and on the site map it lists alot less pages than I have on my sites. On one site there are 15 pages and the sitemap lists only 1!

Have I done something wrong??

any help appreciated as ever

cheers

How are you putting in your menu bars? Are they se friendly? Can they read the links? If not, they can't find the pages. I'm a big believer in text links for this reason - but you can use the regular BV navigation system also.

Here is what Google reads on the home page of your the truth about reiki site - notice none of your navigation shows: http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache...ELA:en&strip=1

Also - at least one of your picture links on the consciouscreation site is bad - you have http://www.consciouscreation.co.uk/w...aboutreiki.com on the picture of the book The Truth About Reiki.

To see the difference in a page where the links are readable by google, here's the text only page of one of my sites: http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache...ELA:en&strip=1
Unfortunately, the pages are cropped - but you can see the difference. It's in how you're putting in your links. Oh - that page of mine uses text links - but here is another of my pages - using the regular navigation of BV: http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache...ELA:en&strip=1 - Again, you can see the links are there.

If you want to keep your current navigation, I suggest you add a footer with text links to all your pages.

thankyou bethers once again!

I presume this will effect the ability of google to pick up the site?

thanks again, I will sort that out now!

cheers

Hi bethers

ust had another thought!!

What are you doing differently to me with the BV navigation?

I do not want to repeat this again!

cheers

I'm just using the standard navigation - not sure which one you're using - but again, you can work around it by adding footer links. Or you can change.

On Pinata Palace, the links are all simply text links. But on A Child's Palace, I made my own button and am using the standard BV navigation.
